You can insall lineageos on a supported streamer.
While not officially supported by the lineage team, you can also build your own streamer with a raspberry pi by following this:
I’ve got an old desktop PC hooked up to our TV running Linux Mint Debian Edition. Attach a wireless keyboard and track pad to it such as this and you’ve got an easy to use streaming device that you can also download to. And you can install Ublock Origin for ad free streaming.
If you want something more portable, you may be able to get your hands on a Walmart onn. TV Box 4K (2021) and install Lineage OS on it, which is a heavily deGoogled Android fork that would allow you to stream more similarly to devices running Google TV.

I got a couple of those after the LTT video about them, but still haven’t gotten around to rooting them/setting them up. Now, because I procrastinated so long, I can use LineageOS instead of the rooted stock ROM (I think?) that was being used at the time.
Thanks, kind Internet stranger!
That’s basically what I’ve been doing for years now. I’ve got a 'smart" tv (I don’t give it net) hooked to a pc in the living room.
It does everything the tv could have done and then some, but better, and without ads. In my opinion it’s the only way to go with the way the ad infested internet is nowadays.
There really is no alternative to that Logitech keyboard is there (I opened that link wondering if it was something else but nope …)
Do you mean you want a smart TV with privacy respecting software and discrete apps for each service you want to use? Off the shelf you won’t find much. Your options change a little depending on your use case but they mostly involve connecting a computer to your TV and using whatever OS/software meets your needs.
Jellyfin?
Depends on what you mean like Google tv. I barely know what Google tv even does.
Google TV is the google skin of android tv, the OS found on a lot of ‘smart’ TVs and streamer dongles.
Sure but is any of that important to OP?
